<p>A requirement is part of the dependencies of a target in a
  Jamfile. The <code class="computeroutput">name</code> attribute of a requirement element
  gives the name of the Boost.Build feature and the content of the
  requirement gives the value of that feature. A requirement such as
  <code class="computeroutput">&lt;includes&gt;foo.hpp</code> would be encoded as
  <code class="computeroutput">&lt;requirement
  name="includes"&gt;foo.hpp&lt;/requirement&gt;</code>.</p>
